Ciste Bowl. There is a bit of walking from this patch down to the gully.

Lower bowl where the snow stops.

Park still has a lot of snow but the jump landing is very abrupt, no run out.

The gunbarrel still has a lot of snow but it is getting thinning higher up. Watch out for the holes appearing lower down. Personally I would give it a miss.

The top of the cas snow patch at the 105

End of the snow in the ciste gully, significantly higher up than this time last year, no where near the board walk.

The main gully, excellent ski down, well worth the hike up.

The traverse patch not much longer till gone.

Entrance to ciste is a bit narrow but nice skiing.

The west wall patch, used this to traverse out from the bottom of the gully to keep high to get over to the day lodge. I bit of a walk from the gully but ok to keep ski boots on.

Looking up to the White Lady and cas. Lady is not worth the walk to ski down

Upper gully, nice width and good ski.

Gully No1 has gone now.

head wall. Didn't go over there but still a reasonable amount of snow, could be worth a walk over in the next few days.

:: Weather Conditions
Warm summers day with broken sunshine to start but clouding over about lunch time with a few spots of rain through the breeze.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Cas and white lady are not really skiable now, the gunbarrel has holes breaking through and is a bit narrow. The park area in the ptarmigan still has a reasonable amount, would be ideal for beginners to try for the first time. Snow is soft but fine to ski on. Ciste is good but getting shorter. The snow today is comparable with the snow at the end of June beginning of Julylast year.
